Thanks Sue, they dont make it easy though

If the squiggle ends in an upstroke then Said, if it ends in a downstroke then Dobson. The signature in question looks like it ends in a downstroke so Dobson I would guess.

Both names were likely signed by whoever's job it was to do the signing, I have never heard that anyone else's name might be represented.

Forget deciphering them, life is too short.

So what do you make of the completely unknown and unrecognisable signature, John?  :help:

I have discussed this pawmark with Ron - he has no idea either. He did contact Paul Said, and was told Paul never, ever signed anything.

As you say, the only known signatures are Michael Harris', Joseph Said's and Eric Dobson's.

Squiggle with an upstroke.

Somebody else was signing that day. It's a dirty job but somebody has to do it......
